The J.Buckie Shipyard Watson 60' Motorsailer, a 1962 classic with an overall length of 18.20 meters and a beam of 5.18 meters, is a unique blend of traditional Scottish fishing craft inspiration and Mediterranean cruising design, courtesy of the renowned studio G.L. Watson. This storied vessel, known as FREEWARD, notably contributed to England's 1962 America's Cup challenge, offering a fascinating historical appeal. Powered by original Gardner engines recently rebuilt and benefiting from restoration expertise linked to the LULWORTH project, this motorsailer presents an intriguing opportunity for enthusiasts. Although it requires some attention, including painting in the engine room and rebuilding of the galley, FREEWARD retains much of its charm with original features still intact. The interior, once modified for daycharter use, has the potential for restoration to its original configuration, and while the mainsail and jibs would benefit from replacement, the vessel's core heritage and potential as a Med cruiser remain compelling.
Traditional Scottish fishing craft inspired motorsailer, designed by the iconic studio G.L. WATSON as a perfect Med cruiser. Her fashinating past includes assisting England's 1962 challenge in the America's Cup.
With two Gardner engines -still the original ones- recently rebuilt and a restoration made by part of the team involved on the LULWORTH project, FREEWARD is a very interesting opportunity.
Please note that FREEWARD needs some attention to turn back to her original beauty.
From an aesthetic point of view the engine room needs good paint work.
The interior layout of the saloon has been modified by the former owner who used the boat for daycharter, the original one can be viewed in a plan in the gallery; fortunately, the original sofas have been moved but are still in good condition, while the galley/cooking corner has to be rebuilt.
Finally, FREEWARD presently is still equipped with an old mainsail that should be replaced, together with two jibs
